Migration of local SLD to Central SLD on different host.

Hello Experts,
We have migrate the local SLD existing on the SAP PI System to a new Central SLD on a different host on SAP Solution Manager system.
I followed the OSS Note 720717, which contains the description of the changes that have to be exectued in the SAP XI/PI Environment, during the SLD Migration. This note does not give any details of the description of changes for the other SAP Systems such as SAP ECC, BI etc registered in the SLD.
Can anyone provide the OSS Notes, SAP Doc URL or the steps on how to migrate the local SLD existing on SAP XI/PI System to the new Central SLD on the SAP Solution Manager system.
Thanks for help in advance.
Best Regards,
Haleem

Firstly
I recommend to avoid having 1 SLD for multiple clients - like Solution Manager, BI, ECC
This is because clients may end up having conflicting requirements for the same SLD
- for example the small user group for Solution Manager may have a flexible and easy going policy on J2EE downtime
- but if you take down the Solution Manager J2EE that houses the SLD and PI uses this SLD - then you could have a severe affect on PI useage
Secondly
Although you can migrate content - this still does not guarantee the target landscape will work
- you may still need to manually re-implement target landscape configuration
let me give you an example
SLD 1 is being moved to SLD 2
Portal 1 is pointing to SLD 1
Even if you migrate the content of SLD 1 - including the ECC and Portal technical system landscape information
Portal 1 is still pointing to SLD 1 - this then needs to be manually re-pointed to SLD2
and that might not be all the complete steps either !
The complete steps of migration from the client side may not be available (I have found only steps to
migrate SLD content not migrate client use of the SLD)
- they may only be available as the documentation for the original configuration steps required to step SLD and the client
- therefore when migrating SLD you must go through the client setup documentation for SLD and check your
target landscape is consistent
Lastly - other considerations include
Lets say you also export model and CIM content from SLD 1 to SLD 2 - this means SLD 2 has an import line from SLD 1
- if you decomission SLD1 then you need to switch the import line which is not recommended - this could cause severe problems and may require you to create a new import line to upload content from SAP /swdc (which you need to keep the SLD bug free and latest definitions)
Just a few thoughts on issues you may encounter

Hi,
there are many considerations on SLD setup.
you will have to decide which is central SLD?

PI SLD versus Central SLD

If I have a local SLD installed on PI what is the best practice for the location of a central SLD?
Should it be on the PI instance or on a CEN monitor SLD like Solution Mgr?

Migrate Server 2008 Certificate Authority To New Server Different Host Name?

Our internal CA is installed on one of our Exchange servers. Exchange is being migrated from 2010 to 2013, so all current Exchange servers will decommissioned and replaced with new new Hyper-V VMs with either Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 OS. The old VM
containing Exchange 2010 and the current CA will go away since we cannot afford to use the server resources and use up the required Windows license to keep that server running doing nothing but acting as a CA.
So, we will either need to move the CA to the new replacement Exchange 2013 server or some other existing server that's being used for something else (maybe one of the domain controllers).
What is the best way to handle this? I don't think the migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 allows for reusing the same host name on the replacement server and if we move the CA to another existing server, it will also be on a server with a new host
name anyways.
Can we migrate the CA to a new server with a different host name?
What about reissuing all the active certificates from the current server to replace them with new certificates from the new server and then decommissioning the original CA? Can this be automated in some way?
Which way is best and how would it be done?

When following the instructions in the guide, I would also consider to switch to new "sanitized" URLs in certificates (CDP and AIA) in case you had used the default URLs now. That's what I did this when migrating W2K3 CAs (with default URLs) to W2K8 R2.
Per default, the LDAP and HTTP URLs point to the CA server itself (HTTP) or to an LDAP objects that has the same name as the current server.
Migrating to a new server, you need to make sure that CRLs will still be published to the old locations - thus the new CA server would write to the LDAP object that corresponded to the old server, and HTTP might be fixed by redirecting the DNS record. (Make
sure this is documented so that nobody thinks it might be a good idea to delete the old object as it "references a server that does not exist anymore".)
As you have to fiddle with URLs anyway, I would then add new URLs having neutral names - that is URLs not including the name of the CA server. The new CA instance would then 1) publish to the old locations but not add these to certificates anymore and 2)
publish to new sanitized locations and add them to CDP and AIA URLs.

Central SLD Configuration

Dears,
Recently we installed PI DEV and PI QAS server.At time of configuration we choose local SLD option for configuration.
But now we are getting requirement to configure central SLD.
So please confirm which strategy is good between them and if it is central SLD,Please suggest the
procedure to change local SLD configuration to central SLD.
Shivam

Hi Shivam
The SLD planning guide provided previously is the key source to plan, implement and run an SLD landscape
However what it may not deal with specifically is changing an existing SLD landscape to accomodate a local PI specific
SLD and a new Central SLD for Solution Manager (or other purposes)
Some things to consider when selecting Sync options
1) 1 Dual purpose SLD is not recommended - a central SLD might have different administration requirements than a PI specific SLD
2) Where possible do not change established import or export lines in either SLD
3) Keep all SLDs involved in the sync at the same J2EE version, SP landscape and CIM model/content
As the PI SLD can be productive critical - full consideration has to be given to this SLD as you can
still maintain systems manually in a central SLD manually - or indeed in Solution Manager itself (both manually and automatically via RFC) - therefore I would recommend a unidirectional sync from local PI SLD to Central SLD of PI landscape data only - either manually or automatically or indeed explore any available options to have data suppliers update both SLDs (there was some options similiar to this in older SLD versions - but I am not completely familiar with the latest SLD builds)
I would not however encourage full sync or CIM based sync as there maybe established CIM import lines on either SLD nor would I specifically encourage the Central SLD to influence data on the Local existing PI SLD

Migrate local SLDs to a centralized SLD

We are in a big SAP project with one full landscape for each new SAP product (e.g. SRM, ECC, EP, BI, etc.)
We have a centralized SLD on a SM7.0.
We have 2 options when installing each system:
1) use the centralized SLD for each new install
2) use the local SLD for each new install, then change all local SLDs to the centralized SLD.
What will be the pros and cons of each option?
Thanks!

Hello Linda,
Eventually ,you want to register your systems to the central SLD.
You can do it in both ways,but during installation when you select the option of Configure a Local SLD SAPinst says that it will take longer time ,thats it no other issues.
So best is that you register your systems to Cenral/Remote SLD.The remote SLD should be running and available at that time.
Have a look at this blog /people/boris.zarske/blog/2008/03/21/sld-general-recommendation-how-to-set-up-the-system-landscape-directory , it will give you more wider view of planning the SLD.

Local SLD not updating a central SLD

Hi,
In my company landscape, I have
SolMan7.1 with Central SLD (Let's call this SLDA)
Portal 7.02 with local SLD (Let's call this SLDB)
ECC6
Both the Portal and ECC systems are updating SLDB, so I can see both technical systems in SLDB.
SolMan is updating SLDA, so I can see SolMan technical system in SLDA.
I linked SLDB to SLDA via
From SLDB> administration> data suppliers --> add SLDA
For this setting, I use the user SLDDSUSER, which have a role LcrInstanceWriterAll.
The problem now is SLDA does not get the data from SLDB. In SLDA, I see only the SolMan Technical System.
How often does SLDB update SLDA? Can we manually trigger an update SLDB->SDLA?
How can we troubleshoot the SLDB -> SLDA update?
What else needs to be configured other than "From SLDB> administration> data suppliers --> add SLDA" ?
Thanks
Edited by: Nick Foo on Sep 27, 2011 3:53 AM

Hi Sunny,
yes I have done those steps. Very short and easy setup steps to link to another SLD.
OK, just one thing to confirm here.
After Add SLD, the SLD URL syntax should be http://host:port correct?
I have tried all sorts of entires for the URL
http://host:port
http://host:port/sld
http://host:port/
All not working
Checked the user, user is ok, even tried giving the user Administrator role and still not working

Switching from central SLD to local SLD

Hello,

Central SLD/Local SLD

Hello All,
Is there limitation with central SLD over Local SLD?.
To deploy Webdynpro applications (Mobile) please let me know if there are any limitations
Thanks

Hello.
SLD architecture is a long discussion
There are different views on how to set up SLD's.
In my oppinion, the limitations of SLD is that it's a central component to a growing number of netweaver component.
Right now, the portal, webdynpro, xi, nwdi wouldn't work very well without the SLD.
Considering this there is aspects on how to set up the SLD's. Usually critical systems have a local SLD, with supplyer briges to central SLD's.
You would have a separate SLD landscape for Production servers, since they usually run on different SLA (service level agreements).
If you're using NWDI, it's usually a good place to have you're central SLD.
If you're running a smaller landscape, go for the local SLD only and don't complicate your landscape too much.
Check this document (about last slide) with different SLD scenarios. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/204994f3-0e44-2a10-17b3-808fbd8db4aa

Local sld pull from central sld

We are in the process of configuring a brand new sp19 solution manager server. We have a central sld on a dedicated server with several systems already registered on it I created a local sld on the new solution manager server. I want to pull the systems from this central sld server into the solution manager server, but cant' seem to find any documentation on how to do it.
I've read the SLD planning guide, the sld post-installation guide,, and the sld user guide. If there are any steps that document how to do this, I've missed them.
Can anybody help?
--Carl

On your central SLD: Administration -> Data Suppliers -> Add SLD...
Type in URL, valid user and pass and that should be it. It works this way on SLD based on NW70.

Switching from local to central SLD

I installed the ESS business package with a local SLD. Now there is another SLD server we need to use (a central SLD instance). Can we switch easily from an existing local SLD instance to a remote SLD instance?
Tiberiu

Hi Tiberiu,
It's a while since this message was created. Have you solved your problem? I have our SLD's set slightly differently to the suggestion made earlier, although I would say that I'm an expert in this area. For dual stacks I have the CIM.... tab pointing at itself and the HTTP tab pointing at the central SLD. This seems to work for us in all cases where there is a dual stack. We are having a few issues in java only systems which we are trying to solve. At present both tabs point to the central SLD and "seem" to be working!!

Regarding Central SLD and Local SLD

Hello,
Can we maintain Central SLD as well as Local SLD?
We have maintain central sld during installation , now i want to maintain local sld also.
How can we do this? what is the benifit and disadvantage for maintaing both?
Regards,
V.Singh

Hi V.Singh
You can have as many SLD as you like - the service is available as part of a WAS JAVA install
Bear in mind the more SLD = the more administration and if you wish to sync them there is also many considerations
It is best you check the SLD planning guide at System Landscape Directory (SLD) to select the landscape that
best suits the intend use
The Central SLD concept is primarily to have an SLD containing all systems in your company i.e complete overview - this might not be specifically used for runtime of these systems - say PI useage etc - it might be used to populate Solution Manager with landscape data or just track all systems and changes in the organization
The central SLD concept is also not essential however an SLD (a local or app specific one) is essential for certain applications like PI, ESS etc
